an BA-3/ILL Theodosius Fowler W. 16575
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of James Fowler and that of Captain Theodosius Fowler, of the 2 d New York Regiment, Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file which was made to the United States based upon service of a James Fowler. The data which follow are found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 16575, based upon service of Captain Theodosius Fowler in that war.
Theodosius Fowler served as Captain, 2nd Regiment of the New York Line and continued until the end of the Revolutionary War; the length of his service and date of commission as captain are not shown in this claim.
Land here next time -7 He was allowed pension on account of his service as an officer in that war on his application executed July 30, 1828, at which time he resided in Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. His name was transferred subsequently from the New Jersey pension roll to that of New York City, New York. He died October 16, 1841, in New York City; he was referred to then as Major Theodosius Fowler.
Captain Theodosius Fowler married September 21, 1784, Mary Steele; they were married by the assistant Minister of Trinity Church, in New York City, where her name was recorded as Mary; however, she was called Maria. Maria Fowler, the officer's widow, died September 29, 1842, at the age of eighty-two years. The funeral was held September 31, at the home of her son-in-law, James A. Stevens, at 85 Franklin Street, New York City; the interment was in East Chester.
January 24, 1843, Theodosius O. Fowler, aged fifty-one years,

son of the above noted officer, resided in New York City. He and his sister, Maria Stevens, were then the only surviving children of Captain (Major) Theodosius Fowler. The pension which was due their mother at the time of her death was paid to these two children.
There are no further data regarding the family of this officer in the papers on file in this claim.
It is suggested that information in regard to the military record of Theodosius Fowler might be obtained from The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, custodian of military records.
Captain Theodosius Fowler was granted 300 acres of bounty land on warrant #728, issued July 9, 1790, on account of his service in the Revolutionary War.
If you desire information in regard to the location of this land, you should apply to the Commissioner, General Land Office, this city, and furnish that official the warrant number, acreage, and date of issuance, given in this letter.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Senate Chamber Feb. 17. 1843.
Sir A Bill is pending in the Senate granting a pension to Maria Fowle. The objection to the allowance at the Department seems to have been that she became a widow after the 7 th July 1838. - If there be no other objection the action of Congress is not necessary; - if there be it is probably improper. The Comtee on Pensions desire information on the subject and with that view the papers are referred to you - Your early answer is desired Very Respectfully
Yours Sam l H. Phelps Chairman of Pensions Washington

Sir
In your letter of the 16 th instant, I am directed to inscribe on my roll, under the act of July 7. 1838, the name of Maria Fowler, deceased, at the rate of $480 per annum, and pay her children from 4 March 1836 to 29 th Sept. 1842 , the day of her death. The certificate has just been presented for payment, and requires payment for the same period. As the language of the act does not seem to admit of a construction which would authorize payment beyond the 4 th March 1841, or for a longer period than five years, and as this case forms a singular exception to every other under this act, I trust you will not deem it out of place that I have been led to suspend payment of the certificate until I could submit the matter to you for correction or confirmation.
Very respectfully
